How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research prospective gutter installers in great depth first, so you don't overpay or get bad service. When analyzing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, it's advisable to opt for a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s expertise on the area's climate, weather, and popular home styles helps it evaluate your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a professional that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for copies of their documentation before signing a contract. Proper credentials and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Read online reviews on sites like the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp. Verify that the company has a record of excellent work and great customer service. Look for happy long-term customers to gain insights into a provider’s reliability. Be on the lookout for red flags, like poor communication or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Look for a gutter installer that's officially certified by the manufacturer. This way, you’ll have a business with manufacturer-backed credentials that's trained to install your gutters per the manufacturer's specifications. This helps you get the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only hire companies that offer strong manufacturer warranties on materials as well as their own installation warranties. Look for warranties that last 5 to 10 years for standard aluminum gutters and 1–3 years for labor.
Gutter Installation Materials
Go for tough materials – for example, heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't rust, warp, or decay over time. Materials that can handle Weare’s weather are best. Be sure any paints and finishes also have a similarly long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
When comparing potential gutter installation providers, be sure to ask a number of detailed questions:
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as Weare's typical snowfall, rainfall, and the risk of inclement weather in your area will affect the size and type of gutter you should get. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- Can you provide a detailed quote for both problem area fixes and full gutter replacement? Get quotes in writing to ensure you understand the price of your gutter installation before the project begins.
- Can you also install gutter guards? Adding gutter guards helps prevent obstructions that occur due to leaves and other falling debris. This is especially important in a place like Weare with lots of trees.
- What warranties do you offer for materials and labor? Quality materials are usually backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is typically back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- What steps do you take to ensure my new gutters have the right pitch and slope to reduce standing water? Correct pitch and slope help reduce overflow risk. Your gutter installation company should know how to properly align a gutter system on your roof.
- How long is the installation process? Most companies are able to get installations done in a day or so.
- How will you ensure a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for providers that complete all steps, including ones such as underlayment replacement.
Putting in the work to vet companies thoroughly will help you select the right gutter installation company for your home's needs. Investing in new gutters can protect against much more costly water and structural damage down the road.
